No Free Rooms with Rewards Points I attempted to cash in my rewards points for a free stay at the Econo Lodge on Woodson Rd. in St Louis Missouri. Then when I went to checkout I was charged= for the stay. Many calls to Choice Hotels along with a letter to the President of the chain resulted only i9n promises of my money back. Over two months now and all I get are promises. Don't be fooled stay away from this chain.

Pay for a Taxi, shuttle is iffy Hotel offers free shuttle from Lambert Airport. Sit outside for 90 minutes after 2 calls to Econolodge for ride. Third call got ride. Shuttle bus does not have hotel name on it. Quality Inn shuttle services both hotels but customer is not informed of this fact. Phone is not answered by hotel, apparently who ever answers the phone is suppose to inform you of the fact. Three calls and still wasnt told this. Rooms cheap and clean. Breakfast is cereal, toast and on occasion coffee.Staff polite and friendly. Only restaurant in walking distance is Subway.

Overnight because of flight problems. Could not have asked for a cleaner room, more polite clerks, etc. Breakfast was only cold cereal, etc. but just fine. Would have liked to take a cup of coffee when I left, but no food was allowed out of the eating area. Nice variety of snacks in the machines. Would be glad to stay there again.

Basic as can be The Econolodge is located next door to the National/Alamo car rental pickup area, which is convenient because you can catch a shuttle from the airport. The hotel has its own shuttle as well. The rooms are very basic, it's not real clean but it you want to go cheap, it's a good way to do it.

Please ONLY stay here if it's the last place left on Earth..!!! Thinking that we were only going to stay in the hotel for only four hours awaiting an early flight out of STL. I mistakenly thought this was a good option. Sadly, was I wrong...! The place is extremely filthy, and has to be one of the scariest places after midnight, I have EVER seen...! People were talking, running and screaming in the hallways most of the night. I have no idea what the business was they were undertaking but, I doubt that it was legal in most of the United States. Needless to say my now very tired/exhausted wife and myself were relieved to depart at 0400. Both of us too afraid to even attempt to fall asleep. Like many of the other reviewers have stated. I usually try and find at least one silver lining in everyone of my reviews. We were just happy we were in a place for our early departure. Unless, this is your ONLY STL option. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere..!
